Chapter 175 Sorry for slipping

As soon as Xie Wu stepped into Jinxiu Fang, shopkeeper Li from Jinxiu Fang greeted her warmly, "Miss Xie, you are here. Hurry, please come inside."

After Yang became seriously ill, the general affairs of the Hou Mansion were seemingly taken over by the Crown Prince's wife, but in fact, the real person in charge was Miss Xie standing in front of her. At first, she was a little uneasy, but she didn't

Thinking about it, this Miss Xie is really a cheerful person. Not only are all the clothes of the Marquis's four seasons made by their Jinxiu Workshop, she also never defaults on the money. This alone is a hundred times better than the Yang family in the past.

, not to mention, she also helped her win the business of Zhennan Palace.

When he thought of this, shopkeeper Li smiled even more on his face.

Xie Wu smiled lightly. She looked around at the brand-new store and the busy clerks in the store. She couldn't help but smile at Shopkeeper Li, "It seems that Shopkeeper Li's business has been good recently!"

After hearing what Xie Wu said, shopkeeper Li laughed and said, "It's all thanks to the girl."

If Xie Wu hadn't signed a long-term supply contract with her and taken over the Zhennan Prince's errand for her, where would she have gotten the money to renovate the store and hire several more clerks and embroiderers?

Now, her Jinxiufang finally has a place in the capital.

Seeing the true gratitude and happiness in Shopkeeper Li's eyes, Xie Wu couldn't help but smile with her lips curved, and she said, "It's Shopkeeper Li, you are good at your craftsmanship."

"You're a girl, you think highly of civilian women." Shopkeeper Li pursed her lips and smiled. After saying that, she stepped aside and then continued to say to Xie Wu with a smile, "Miss Xie, I have painted two new patterns recently. If you have time,

Why don't you go inside and sit down so that you can help the women look at it carefully."

"Okay!" Xie Wu smiled lightly and agreed in a good-natured manner.

The private room upstairs has also been rearranged, especially the few branches of sweet-scented osmanthus inserted diagonally in the vase above the table. Although the dots of light yellow are inconspicuous, the refreshing fragrance makes people can't help but relax.

Take two deep breaths.

"Cousin, cousin." As soon as he saw Xie Wu come in, Chen Jiamu stood up immediately, with a feeling of relief on his face.

No wonder Chen Jiamu would be like this. As soon as anyone came in, he found a strange man sitting in the room. This man knew everything that happened around him, but he knew nothing about him.

Under such circumstances, it was difficult not to feel a sense of fear and uneasiness in his heart.

If he hadn't seen Suiyu next to his cousin, he would have really suspected that the Second Young Master Lu had deliberately sent someone to trick him out with a letter.

"Ah Wu." Lu Zhan stood up with a smile at this time.

"Thank you, miss. You guys can talk first, and the woman will go down first." Shopkeeper Li smiled and said hello to Xie Wu, and then exited the house with a smile, not forgetting to close the door for a few people before leaving.

"Cousin, do you know each other?" Seeing Lu Zhan standing up and greeting Xie Wu with a smile, Chen Jiamu finally reacted and looked at Xie Wu in surprise.

Could it be that he was also called here by his cousin?

Xie Wu seemed not to have seen Lu Zhan. She walked directly to the side and sat down. Then she smiled and said to Chen Jiamu, "Cousin, sit down."

Chen Jiamu twitched the corner of his mouth stiffly, glanced at Lu Zhan curiously, and then sat back with a smile.

But here, Lu Zhan, who was ignored, was not angry. He smiled at Xie Wu, then reached out and lifted up his sleeves and calmly sat back in his seat.

Suiyu looked at the young master who was extremely 'humble' in front of the girl, and she couldn't help but silently shed tears for him in her heart.

"Cousin, what's the matter with you coming to me?" Although it was difficult to ignore Lu Zhan sitting beside him, Chen Jiamu still forced himself not to pay attention to him and only focused on Xie sitting in front of him.

flatter.

Mother has already promised to return to Yangzhou. If my cousin comes to see him at this time, is he worried that mother will regret it?

Looking at Xie Wu's charming and cold face, Chen Jiamu couldn't help but secretly guess in his heart.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask my cousin, what are your plans for the future?" Xie Wu looked at Chen Jiamu with a slight smile on her lips.

Chen Jiamu was startled at first, and then a layer of sadness soon appeared in his dark pupils.

Plan, what plan can he have...

Chen Jiamu smiled bitterly in his heart. Seeing Xie Wu still looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help but pursed his lips. After hesitating for a while, he slowly said, "Cousin, last time you asked me,

Tell me whether I have ever thought that I am not suitable for studying. In fact... I have known for a long time that I am not suitable for studying, but my father..."

Chen Jiamu couldn't speak anymore.

Everything is of inferior quality, but reading is of high quality.

He had heard this sentence from his father countless times since he was a child. He also listened to his words and studied very hard, but...

"Cousin, have you ever talked about this with your uncle?" Xie Wu added with a smile.

Chen Jiamu frowned and nodded to Xie Wu, and said, "Of course, it's just that my father thinks he is lazy and doesn't want to study hard..."

"Then you really didn't work hard?" Xie Wu smiled lightly and asked again.

Chen Jiamu shook his head vigorously, "Of course not!"

"Since it's not the case, it only means that the road to study is unavailable to you. In this case, instead of being stuck on this road, you might as well choose a new path that suits you." Xie Wu looked at Chen with a smile.

Jiamu said again.

"What's the right path for me?" Chen Jiamu looked at Xie Wu with hesitation in his eyes.

Xie Wu smiled lightly and said, "I heard that my cousin once suggested that my uncle use part of his money to hoard food?"

"Cousin, you, you know all this?" Chen Jiamu was extremely surprised.

At that time, he only accidentally heard from a classmate and friend that the food production in the south was getting worse year by year. His father spent most of his family's money hoarding food, and even now he was stretched thin. At that time, he thought this might be a good business opportunity.

So, I went home to discuss it with his father, but he refused me as soon as I opened my mouth.

But apart from him and his father, no one else knew about this. How did cousin Ah Wu know about it?

Seeing the shock and confusion in Chen Jiamu's eyes, Xie Wu just smiled lightly and said, "Like my cousin, I think this is a good business opportunity, so if my cousin is still interested in this matter, I will

I can help my cousin."

"You, you want me to collect food?" Chen Jiamu's eyes widened.

Xie Wu nodded and said, "There has been a disaster in the south this year and there must be a shortage of food, especially in winter. Therefore, when my cousin goes back and passes through Yuzhou this time, he might as well collect more food from Yuzhou to prepare for emergencies!"

"I know that there was a disaster in the south, but in the past few years, a lot of grain was stored in several warehouses in the south. Although the price of grain has increased, it is not a shortage. I suggested to my father at that time that I wanted to make a profit by stocking grain.

". "Chen Jiamu looked at Xie Wu with a smile.

Perhaps it was because he was born into a merchant family, and because the Chen family originally ran several teahouses and restaurants in Yangzhou, he was naturally very sensitive to things like food.

As soon as Chen Jiamu mentioned this, his previous restraint and dejection disappeared, and his whole person suddenly exuded the vigor that only a young man can have, and his eyes were even more amazingly bright.

Xie Wu looked at Chen Jiamu like this, and she couldn't help but chuckled at him again. She said, "No matter whether there will be a shortage in the future, the price of food will definitely rise, so it will definitely be useless for my cousin to collect more food."

Incorrect."

Chen Jiamu nodded in agreement with Xie Wu, and said, "Cousin, you are right. I will edit the book and give it to my father when I get back soon, so that he can agree to my collecting food."

"Then, what if uncle still disagrees?" Xie Wu turned her face slightly and smiled again.

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Chen Jiamu's face again. He lowered his eyes sadly and hesitated for a long time, "I, I will try my best to convince my father."

Xie Wu chuckled and looked sideways at Xianyue.

Xianyue realized what she was doing, and she walked out with her feet up. Then, she placed the brocade box she had been holding tightly in her hands on the table in front of Chen Jiamu.

"Cousin, what are you doing?"

"This brocade box contains ten thousand taels of silver notes." Xie Wu said directly.

Chen Jiamu's eyes widened. He pursed his lips again and again. After a long while, he found his voice and said, "Cousin, how can a girl like you get so much money?"

Even though Xie Wu is a noble daughter of the Hou family, she is still a girl who has not left the palace. Even if she has some money in her hand, she can only spend ten thousand taels at a time...

He can't even afford so much silver!

"This money is my investment. If my cousin doesn't like it, I still have some jewelry..."

"No, no, no, ten thousand taels is enough! I, I have saved one thousand taels myself..." Chen Jiamu looked at Xie Wu with embarrassment.

Compared with the 10,000 taels from Ah Wu's cousin, he really couldn't handle the 1,000 taels.

"Perhaps, cousin can also consider buying some grain from your friend. Didn't cousin just say that his family harvested too much grain and was a little tight on money?" Xie Wu looked at Chen Jiamu with a smile and said.

"I also have this idea, but..."

However, since he was going to Yuzhou to collect grain, he naturally couldn't collect less. Otherwise, he would not be able to make much money even if he only transported a small amount of grain all the way back. So, he planned to spend all of these 10,000 taels.

In Yuzhou!

"Cousin can ask for uncle!" Xie Wu said again with her lips curved.

"My dad? My dad won't agree..." Chen Jiamu frowned and looked at Xie Wu with a sad face.

This time when he went to Yuzhou to collect grain, he planned to kill it first and report later. Otherwise, if his father knew about it, his father would definitely not agree.

"If my cousin talks to my uncle first, he will naturally not agree. But if my uncle sees that my cousin has brought food back, he will have no choice but to agree." Xie Wu smiled and winked at Chen Jiamu.

.

"My cousin is saying..."

"My cousin can tell my uncle that this money was given to you by my father."

Chen Jiamu's eyes suddenly lit up.

That's right! My father respects his uncle the most. If he knew that the money belonged to his uncle, he would never watch his uncle's money go down the drain!

"Cousin, I know what to do! Don't worry, I won't let you lose money!" Chen Jiamu looked at Xie Wu with bright eyes.

Xie Wu smiled lightly, looked at Chen Jiamu and said, "Cousin, just don't blame me for giving you random ideas."

"No, no! I know cousin, you are doing it for my own good!" Chen Jiamu looked at Xie Wu with bright eyes.

Xie Wu pursed her lips and was about to speak when a 'pop' sound suddenly came from the room.

Xie Wu looked at the broken tea cup on the ground, her eyebrows twisted slightly, and she subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Lu Zhan.

Lu Zhan, who had been silent for a long time, saw everyone looking at him. He couldn't help but smile softly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Sorry, my hands were slippery just now!"
